Why does "only" getting a bronze because you had COVID when you ran the 200 meters in the Olympics merit news coverage of of "the bad news is he didn't get the 100 and 200 meters double header" instead of "the bad news is he knowingly exposed how many other athletes to COVID"?

So I have another twitter account that basically never posts, but follows liberal and progressive accounts, and I started paying attention to it recently and it gets a couple of promoted posts a day from accounts that I would have assumed were hard right parodies a few years ago.

NO, ELON, NOT OK. Give me a setting to turn this back on. I explicitly intend for people to know what I liked.

Going to have to start using retweets, or are they ghosted too?
I WANT people to know it was me that liked their tweets. Now my only option is to reply & write the word "like". This will seriously cut into my time wishing folks a🎂! How can we get the powers-that-be to STOP "improving" this site? Grrrrrr! 🤬 #BringBackLIKES

Dear @firefox can you add an option to disable the ability of a website to even request notifications? That is, completely disable the notifications feature and not even bug me about it.

Only one of my twitter accounts gets notifications for "suggested topics", so obviously there's something that turns this on or off that I haven't figured out. Dear Elon: I never want to get notifications for anything but a tweet referencing me. Nothing else.

How do I make Time Machine on Sonoma back up my system volume, and if I can't how do I back it up?

“AI” is verboten in my classes (except those training staff to BS C-suites), and “ML” is deprecated. “Pattern recognition” is the approved term. Oh yeah. “Deep learning” is presumed to be a reference to the training of Linda Lovelace. I believe in AI, but I ain’t seen none yet.

I am having a totally surreal discussion with Amazon Support. I am trying to report an error in the map, and they keep asking me about my order. It's already been escalated once and the new person seems not to understand English.
